And so – I managed to escape Brisbane.  Did I mention I threw up in the airport toilet in the process?  I hope not.  Had one or two last not-so-delicious australian beers (at least they didn’t have razor blades in them) – and got myself on a plane.  To Auckland.  So – need to buy some duty-free before I get on the domestic flight to Wellington.  I’d forgotten how absolutely ridiculous New Zealand’s duty-free allowance is.  6 bottles of wine PLUS two bottles of spirits.  For a man with my condition

Meet Zork the world’s first resealable, reusable, recyclable sparkling wine closure (aka cork or stopper). Decanter reports on it here .

What is soda water? Carbonated water, which is also termed by its variations like sparkling water and seltzer too, is plain water to which carbon dioxide gas has been dissolved, and is the defining component of many “soft drinks”. The process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas is called carbonation. It results in the formation of carbonic acid (which has the chemical formula H2CO3). In the past, soda water, also known as club soda, was produced in the home by “charging” a refillable seltzer bottle by filling it with water and then adding carbon dioxide.

Wine, which is a drink we all know and love, is produced from fruits such as grapes and berries by drying and then fermenting them.  Once the fruits ferment, the sugar within the fruit will turn into alcohol.The wine will display in a different taste, color and aroma, as it depends on the type of fruit that it was made from. Wine is divided into three main categories – fortified, sparkling, and table.After enhancing the alcohol wine is known as fortified as a bit of brandy is mixed.  Wine is deemed as sparkling when it has the right level of C02.The third category, table wine, is wine in it’s natural form – it is different from any type of wine.

Last night, I was out with girlfriends at a wine tasting and was once again reminded of another way men and women are much different.  We have the need to empty our bladders much more frequently. We know that when it comes to the “number 1” reason for visiting the powder room, it takes ladies a little longer than it does the gentlemen.  (When it comes to the “number 2” reason, men have us beat by HOURS, but that’s another post.)Much has been written about the disparity in needed vs.

I think my favorute types of wine are the sparkling ines, especially the Nv Brachetto D’Acqui, Mareno it was nery fruity and I enjoyed drinking it. My least favorite one was the Spirits of France, especially the Bas- Armagnac.
